The love of a lion in The AnswerBank: Animals & Nature

I watched it a long time ago and it made me cry. Watched again last night and I cried again :-)

I saw it for the first time on the One Show last night, must admit I had a lump in my throat.

Hi Naomi, I have seen this before and it is just so beautiful. The lion's reaction when he spots his former friends ( coupled with Whitney singing ) is joyous. Thanks for sharing !

Heart-breakingly beautiful, Naomi. It's hard to believe that it wasn't that long ago you could buy a lion cub in Harrods.

It made me cry even though I'd seen it before but not as much as this did. I sobbed through this. Media URL: http://chill.com/karenstyles2/post/c0f4d8fdaf31421d9f3ccff4b32e65a2?fb_action_ids=10150733428051312&fb_action_types=chilllive%3Awatch&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582

Just shows how much any animal would love and trust us given the chance. I could watch this reunion over and over again.

I've seen that little dog before Jan. Hard to watch, but worth it for the happy ending.

Thankyou Naomi for sharing. It was lovely. Creatures aren't as dumb as some
people would like us to think!

rather a coincidence this, i was telling some people about this tuesday, they didn't believe me at first, about the two guys buying the lion from Harrods, and keeping it at home, then about the reunion. So i pulled out the youtube clip. I had read about it some time ago and thought what an amazing story.
